“Em grande medida, os problemas dos poetas são os problemas dos pintores, e os poetas devem não raro se voltar à literatura da pintura para uma discussão de seus próprios problemas” (Stevens 1957: 187). Assim o poeta moderno estadunidense Wallace Stevens (1879 - 1955) descreve, ele próprio, sua relação com a pintura e seu posicionamento de que as duas artes são quase irremediavelmente conectadas. Ainda que alguns de seus melhores críticos tendam a ignorar essa associação (entre eles estão Harold Bloom, Helen Vendler, Frank Kermode e Eleanor Cook), não é incomum que análises de seus poemas e poética sejam atravessados por essa leitura. Um dos poemas mais explorados nesse sentido é “Sunday Morning” – publicado pela primeira vez em sua obra de estreia, Harmonium, de 1923 –, amplamente louvado como um dos melhores de toda a produção de Stevens. Aqui, além de expor tais leituras, iremos apresentar uma tradução a este poema e propor outras leituras que o relacionem com diversos aspectos da arte pictórica e, em especial, com as naturezas-mortas.
